J.H. Mason, R.D.I.; a selection from the notebooks of a scholar-printer made by his son John Mason. Illustrated by Rigby Graham. 8vo, 224 X 153mm., 44pp., The Twelve by Eight, 2 Ratcliffe Road, Leicester, 1961.

Handset in Baskerville at Orpheus Press. One of 950 copies printed in black (title-page in black and turquiose) on white cartridge paper. 12 full-page drawings.  Amateurish full-black morocco with gilt spine titling. A very good to fine copy.

Presumably a proof copy, the pages are numbered and the words 'Bound in Linson' absent from the verso of the title-page. From the library of Rigby Graham, though without marks of provenance. Is the binding by him?
